1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Tetrahymena is a useful eukaryotic model for biochemistry and molecular cell biology studies. We previously demonstrated that targeted ectopic DNA elimination, also called co-Deletion (coDel), can be induced by the introduction of an internal eliminated sequence (IES)-target DNA chimeric construct. In this study, we demonstrate that coDel occurs at most of the loci tested and can be used for the production of somatic gene KO strains. We also showed that coDel at two loci can be simultaneously induced by a single transformation; thus, coDel can be used to disrupt multiple gene loci in a single cell. Therefore, coDel is a useful tool for functional genetics in Tetrahymena and further extends the usefulness of this model organism.
